healthy banana pudding
I was given a banana pudding recipe that was super high in calories and fat. I'm very health conscious and tinkered to get this. ***I have light soy milk listed. It has 60 calories per cup. If you don't like soy or have any on hand, use skim.*** Each serving has 200 calories.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A lower sugar, lactose-free banana pudding that is thick and creamy. We've had issues with soy milk puddings not setting right, but this one was perfect. Just sweet enough, vanilla beans make this feel a little decadent. Coating the bananas with lemon juice prevents them from browning too fast. This recipe makes a fairly small portion so you won't be tempted to over-indulge. We loved the Nilla wafers to make this feel like traditional banana pudding. Regular-size or mini wafers will work.

- 2 tablespoons flour
